I Installed a set Kooks long tube headers with the hi flow green cats on my '99 M6 Coupe about 4 1/2 years ago. Everything installed easily without having to jack up the engine or disconnect the steering shaft or remove the starter. Just moved the alternator aside, unbolted and moved the ground strap out of the way and they slip up from underneath in seconds. They fit perfectly with absolutely no clearance issues and no air tube modifications necessary. I had mine ceramic coated for heat and appearance. Great products and I highly recommend Kooks.

Yup. You get what you pay for. I bought Kooks 1-7/8" LTs, their 3" X-Pipe, and Flowmasters over 15 years ago. Fit perfect, still on the car after all these years.
